Pumpkin Banana Bread Recipe

Autumn is my favorite time of year. I love all the fun holidays, the cool weather, the leaves changing colors and of course Pumpkin in my cooking! What is it about pumpkin that is so amazing and delicious? I love the way it smells, the way it looks, the way it tastes, and everything that can be cooked with it. I have a lot of fun pumpkin ideas for this fall!! So excited! I'm always looking for a supreme banana bread recipe. This recipe had a nice flavor but it was a little dry. I liked it but I'm not sure it will be the winner of my whole life.

Pre-heat oven to 350 Degrees and prepare two loaf pans by greasing and flouring them.

In a large bowl combine the Flour, Baking Powder, Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Baking Soda, and Salt.
In a separate large bowl combine the Eggs, Sugar, Brown Sugar, Bananas, Oil, and Pumpkin. Beat until smooth.

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the Pumpkin mixture. Spoon dough into the prepared loaf pans. Bake 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center clean. Cool in the pans on top of the cooling racks for about ten minutes. Then remove the bread from the pan and allow to fully cool on the wire racks.
